HOW IT WORKS.

hard Facts In Relation to the Operation ol
the Interstate Commerce Law Pre-.
scented to the State Department by Our
Commercial Agent Mt London. Ont.
WASHINGTON, May 4-Thc State Do.
partmcnt to-day sent to the Interstate
Commerce Commission a copy Of com.
munication just received at the depart.
mcnt from Mr.. Washington, United States
Commercial Agent Mt London. Ont, re-
speeding the effects of the Interstate
Commerce law on our trade with Canada.
The agent, writing under date Of April
%, says the result of the act has been
most damaging to both the United States
and Canada. in reference to exports and
imports, and is severely felt both by buy.
,rs and sellers to and from the United
States. The records of his Office for the
month of April show less activity and
fewer exports than ever before for the
same period, and he believes the same tc
be true throughout Canada.
"In fact" he says, ''for a week after tie
law took effect. business was at a stand
still, and is at present confined almost ex-
clusively to points like Buffalo and De.
troit, which are Immediately across the
line, and require no haul over American
railways"
The Canadian roads, he says, can not yet
give a rate over their own and connecting
American lines, and shippers are conse.
quently unwilling to let their goods 60 tc
the frontier, not knowing what the
further delivery to inland aud seaboard
points will cost.
This, however, he writes, is not the
worst feature of the case, and is slight
compared with the damage to our import
trade into Canada. The English merchant
in this busy season is able to name the
exact rate Of freight, and thus has great
advantage over the American merchant,
who, In the present chaotic condition OF
railway tariffs. can not say whether the
rate on his goods will b, one or five dol
lars per hundred pounds. A settlement
must shortly be reached, or our commerce
will receive such damage that it will take
years to regain the lost trade and prestige
which the United States has hitherto en-
joycd in Canada.
As illustrating the damaging effects of
the new Law, he cites a case coming under
his notice Of a Canadian merchant who
tried to mako purchase OF California
goods, amounting to about SIC, 0OD, but had
to give it up on account of tho inability OF
American railways to make him freight
rate, and consequently purchased else.
where. Rates on American goods coming
into Canada are so high and irregular
that merchants there are grumbling, and
will find other places to pur.
chase if the evil is not corrected.
Thirty-one cars Of single commodity,
are now lying at London, awaiting rates
over United States roads, which will
probably be so high that it will be impos-
sible to export it.
Mr.. Washington closes his letter by
submitting his facts without comment as
to rene iy, but adds that they are hard
facts and ones for which relief should be
found at once

has written review Of General Wolseley's
"Life Of General Lee" and it will be
printed in tomorrow mornings papers
He takes exception to many Of the English
Generals statements, and, while not find
ing fault with the superlative opinion Of
General Lees military ability expressed in
the book, he shows very plainly that he
considers General Wolseley's criticisms Of
other Southern leaders unjust and unwar-
rantable. The review Is written in a very
caustic style, and contains interesting mat
ter in the way Of estimates Of the relative
value Of the services Of the Confederate
leaders.

Every one expected that the game would be at

awful exhibition which followed. Healy seemed
TO have but little control of the ball: he was not
quite so bad in this way as Kirby was yesterday.

other forty nine Detroit batsmen pounded out
twenty-ons actual hits. with total of thirty
bases. The Dstroits scored IN every in

fourth and fifth being particularly caamitious
for the visitors. Had Healy been bester sup
ported it is possible he would have pitched bet
ter game. but the players back Of him seemed to
lose heart when they saw the game getting SO
far out of their reach, and the last half of the
contest was played rather listlessly This can
not be said of Seery, however, who felded
everything that came his way, and captured
eight flies in beautiful shape. Bassett played a
good game, too making number of pretty
stops 1t was an off day for Denny, though, the

The Detroits, in addition to playing great
game at the bat. fielded perfectly and bases
